Vantage House Donates Food to Grassroots
Retirement community residents share meals with people in shelter programs

Vantage House retirement community recently donated $500 to Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center. The contribution was the result of a campaign by over 50 residents of the Downtown Columbia community who are sharing 100 meals a month with people served by Grassroots. Vantage House Dining Staff members have been working with the donors in their weekly support to the crisis intervention center and shelter for the homeless. Among those at the check presentation were (from l.) Director of Vantage House Dining Services Nile Sara, Grassroots Executive Director Andrea Ingram, Vantage House Dining Services Manager Michael James, Dining Room Supervisor Yvette Klipsteen and residents Barbara Schuyler and Lynada Johnson.
